Pickton, an inmate at Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec, was 74.
Pickton was convicted in 2007 of six counts of second-degree murder but is suspected of killing dozens of women who disappeared from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside."We are mindful that this offender’s case has had a devastating impact on communities in British Columbia and across the country, including Indigenous peoples, victims and their families. Our thoughts are with them," the correctional service said.
Pickton had been serving a life sentence. At the time of his sentencing in December 2007, B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams said it was a “rare case that properly warrants the maximum period of parole ineligibility available to the court.” “This is gonna bring healing for, I won't say all families, I'll just say most of the families," she said.
